About Me
Hi, I'm Róisín (Row-sheen) 🫶
Person-centred psychotherapist (MBACP Accred, UK) specialising in baby loss and pregnancy after loss — now based in Perth, working online with parents across Australia.
Welcome to My Space
At the heart of everything I do is a simple truth: your baby is still yours, your love is still real, and you deserve to be held through all of it.
This is a space where none of your feelings are too much, too complicated or too difficult to hold. Whether you're processing the loss of your baby, navigating the anxiety of pregnancy after loss, or struggling with the complexities of parenting after loss — I'm here for you.
My Story
My first baby, my son Arlo, was stillborn. I later experienced a miscarriage. I now have two living children — my rainbow babies — and I parent them alongside the memory of the babies I lost. Arlo is part of our family, always.
I understand the pregnancy anxiety, the fear of every appointment, the difficulty bonding with a new baby when you're carrying grief for another. I know what it feels like when someone asks “Is this your first?” and you don't know how to answer.
This lived experience, combined with my professional training, means I don't just understand intellectually — I understand in my bones.
Originally from Ireland and having practised in the UK for many years, my family and I now call Perth, Western Australia home. Bringing this work to Australian parents — in a country where I know how isolating loss can feel when you're far from family — means everything to me.
My Approach
I work in a person-centred way, which means you lead the way. You won't find me telling you to “move on” or that “everything happens for a reason.” I believe your grief is as unique as the love you have for your baby, and therapy should honour that.
Alongside creating a safe, compassionate space for you to explore your feelings, I also offer practical tools for managing grief and anxiety. This might include grounding techniques, strategies for navigating medical appointments, or support with bonding during pregnancy after loss.
You Lead the Way
Person-centred therapy means there's no agenda — you choose what we work on.
No Toxic Positivity
You won't hear "move on" or "everything happens for a reason" from me.
Practical Tools
Grounding techniques, anxiety management, and strategies for difficult situations.
Bonding Support
Help connecting with a new pregnancy while honouring your loss.
